Can Zhuge Dan be saved and how?

Yang Zheng has been thinking about these two questions.

A person's character is his destiny. Zhuge Dan was bent on separatist control of Huainan and did not make progress, so his defeat was already doomed.

This is also where the great inertia of history lies.

The whole country of Soochow rushed to the rescue and fought bloody battles with the Wei army, but Zhuge Dan stood idly by in Shouchun City and only let Wen Qin and other Soochow troops go out of the city to respond.

If you calculate too much, sometimes it will harm yourself.

There are two mountains weighing down on him, and he still has so many thoughts. Such a person cannot be saved, nor can he be saved.

Even if Yang Zheng sent someone to tell him about the severe drought in Huainan this year, Zhuge Dan's first reaction would probably be to kill the envoy he sent instead of thinking of countermeasures.

Besides, with the current situation, there is no need for countermeasures on the battlefield in Huainan, it is just a life-and-death arm wrestling.

The general trend of the world is basically clear. After Sima Zhao pacifies Huainan, he will definitely send troops to the northwest.

There is no doubt about it.

Judging from the intelligence sent back from Huainan, Zhuge Dan was in danger after Sun Wei withdrew his troops.

In fact, this overwhelming approach is the most unsolvable.

Sima Zhao won't play tricks with you at all, he will crush you openly and openly.

Soochow and Huainan are no match at all.

This is equivalent to Sima Zhao single-handedly challenging Zhuge Dan, Sun Wei, Jiang Wei, and himself.

Although they lost Longyou in Yongliang, in the overall situation, the Sima family still made a profit.

After the Wu State experienced this setback, it is estimated that they will not be interested in the Northern Expedition in the future.

The Kingdom of Shu is at a loss for words, and it has not yet eaten Chen Cang, and it has also refused Zhou Zhi's assistance.

Yang Zheng felt that his good intentions were being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs.

This also shows that Jiang Wei increasingly distrusts himself.

"The sixth batch of Henan hunting cavalry returned to the Guzang camp today and captured more than 10,000 livestock and 4,000 slaves." Meng Guan happily reported.

This number is not surprising. Han Weiqing swept across Henan and captured nearly a million livestock.

It's October now, the season for livestock to be slaughtered.

This year was not a bumper harvest, but the grain harvest in the government treasury still reached 3.7 million shi. A total of 130,000 livestock were produced in Hehuang, Hequ, Liangzhou, and Hetao. The Liangzhou government treasury was immediately full.

Suo Jing fulfilled Yang Zheng's request of 40,000 horses a year.

There are more than 10,000 war horses, coupled with more than 20,000 pack horses and draft horses, so that all the guards can ride on horseback.

The infantry can also be divided into two pack horses.

The large-scale breeding of Mobei horses has only begun this year. At this rate, it will take less than three years to be put into use in the army.

The cavalry is the lifeblood of Liangzhou and the only weapon that can break the situation in the future.

Therefore, everyone in Liangzhou attaches great importance to it.

In addition to war horses, another lifeline is food.

The Grain and Forage Division built granaries in Guzang, Jincheng, Tianshui, Shuofang, Zhangye, and Xihai for the purpose of storing grain.

In addition to the grain they produce themselves, they also smuggle in a lot of grain from Shu.

Today, there are leaks everywhere in the Shu Kingdom. Since Wei Guan took charge of the affairs of the Shu Kingdom, Liangzhou and the Shu Kingdom have become more and more closely tied.

In the open trade, Sichuan brocade, tea, lacquerware, cloth, etc. were continuously sent to Liangzhou and traded in Guzang in exchange for leather, livestock and war horses.

Secret trade, going north from Jiangyou and passing through Yinping, selling everything.

Ordnance, armor, repeating crossbows, food, etc. can be exchanged for a large number of luxury goods.

I even bought blueprints for crossbow armor.

The price of a Shu craftsman in Liangzhou is thirty taels of gold.

Whether you come by yourself or are sold to someone else, you can receive this money.

Thanks to these craftsmen, the pottery industry emerged in Longxi and Jincheng.

The quality of paper is getting better and better.

Ironworks and woodworks also ushered in rapid development.

I dare not say anything else, but Liangzhou's swords and armors are becoming more and more sophisticated.

The crossbow can penetrate iron armor within fifty steps.

According to Yang Zheng's request, bed crossbows and cart crossbows were built, with a range of up to 400 steps. Once the crossbow is fired, the real man and horse will be shattered!

Although this thing is bulky, when equipped on the city wall, it is a weapon for defending the city!

Yang Zheng directly ordered the Tiefang and Mufang to fully activate their firepower. They brought out 300 aircraft and equipped them to the Xiaoguan and Longshan defense lines. When the time came, they would give Sima Zhao a drink.

These days, none of our allies are useful for developing ourselves.

In other words, the stronger you are, the more allies you will have.

You are weak, and there are hungry wolves staring at you everywhere.

"Where are Liu Heng and the others?" Yang Zheng basically doesn't need to worry about internal affairs. As long as he uses the right people, and with the Xuanyi Department supervising him and Jiuyeying as his eyes and ears, the county magistrates and county magistrates from all over Liangzhou will basically do their jobs attentively.

of.

Therefore, Yang Zheng could devote his energy to focusing on military affairs, handling all matters personally.

"The news came back yesterday that they have finished resting in Yunzhong City and are about to send troops to Youzhou, but..." Meng Guan stopped talking.

"Just what?"

"Xianbeisuo Tuoba Liwei refused to allow our troops to cross the border."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tan Shihuai, who was born in Daijun, unified the Xianbei tribes and became the new overlord of the grassland. He plundered the Eastern Han Dynasty to the south, resisted Ding Ling to the north, repulsed Fuyu to the east, and attacked Wusun to the west, restoring the prosperity of the Xiongnu for a time.

Xianbei is divided into three parts: eastern, central and western.

After Cao Cao moved the Southern Xiongnu to Monan and merged into the state, the Xianbei people quickly occupied Monan.

After Tan Shihuai's death, Xianbei killed each other and killed one Kebineng.

After Ke Bineng, Tuoba Liwei gradually became stronger.

From the 25th year of Jian'an, Tuoba Liwei began to rise in Monan and led his troops to live in Changchuan (now Yanggao County, Shanxi, east of Datong). He governed well and the surrounding tribes joined him one after another. In the ninth year of Zhengshi, he also

Just ten years ago, as his son-in-law, he annexed the most powerful Wuluhui tribe in western Xianbei, with as many as 200,000 people in control!

This son-in-law makes Yang Zheng feel ashamed.

It is said that Tuoba Liwei is so awesome, but he is quite low-key.

He has always been friendly with the Central Plains, restrained his tribesmen, stopped plundering southward, and made good friends with the Wei State. He lived a good life.

At that time, Sima Yi destroyed Liaodong, Guanqiu Jian destroyed Goguryeo, and Tuoba Liwei sent troops to help.

All the Xianbei tribes in Yunzhong that Liu Heng slaughtered were nominally under Tuoba Liwei's rule.

In other words, Yang Zheng has violated Tuoba Xianbei's interests.

Tuoba Liwei is low-key, so his presence has not been strong.

"Hurry up and hurry up. Let Liu Heng not be an enemy of the Tuoba tribe for the time being and clean up the chaos in Yanmen first." In the current situation, there is no need to provoke a powerful opponent.

With 200,000 cavalry deployed, there will never be peace in the Hetao.

"Wei!" Meng Guan took the order and left.

Yang Zheng ordered people to summon Du Yu and Wei Guan.

How to get along with Tuoba Xianbei has become a top priority now.

"In Yunzhong, the two counties of Dingxiang are close to Tuoba and far away from Liangzhou. It is not suitable to have disputes with them at this time. My subordinates heard that Tuoba was only in his eighties and that time was running out. The leaders of Xianbei tribes always died and all the disciples quarreled.

If you are in power, you will inevitably fall into civil strife, so the general may as well wait a while." Wei Guan said.

"More than eighty years old?" Yang Zheng was surprised. Sima Yi lived to be seventy-three years old, which can be called a long life.

Du Yu said: "Tuoba Xianbei has 200,000 people who control the strings. Our military strength is not enough to capture them. My subordinates also suggest that we temporarily befriend Tuoba Liwei."

Not everyone can achieve Cao Cao's victory over Wuhuan.

When Cao Cao defeated Wuhuan, he also took huge risks.

Now that I have to go on an expedition to Daijun and fight Tuoba Liwei, it would be better to send my army south to attack Shu and gain more...
